THOUGHT FOR THE DAY as written at Prasanthi Nilayam Today
The very first lesson I gave when I declared My Identity at Uravakonda
was: "Maanasa Bhajare Gurucharanam, Dusthara Bhava Saagara Tharanam." That is
to say: First know that you are in this cycle of birth and death, the ocean of
worldly life (bhava saagaram); then resolve on crossing it (tharanam); then fix
on a Guru or the Name and Form of God which appeals to you; lastly, dwell on
His Glory, do bhajan, but do it with all your mind. He, who is deluded by this
relative reality is the worldly person (samsaari); he who is aware that it is
only relatively real is the spiritual practitioner (saadhaka).
